It's good fun and keeps you writing.
Day one...
Dark Night of the Soul
It seemed I had
Everything I wanted,
Husband, children, friends, job
Enough monetarily - although
We never really think we have
Enough
I couldn't honestly say
I lacked anything
Yet,
Yet, I was lonely
But I couldn't say
There was something missing
I didn't feel me
Didn't feel whole
But I couldn't say
In the depths of my very being
There was a heavy emptiness.
Everything was black
But I couldn't say
There was just this
Dark hole
That held
A pain
A pain I couldn't explain.
Is it still there?
ReplyDeleteNo. It relates to the time when I lived a dark night spiritually. I had given up my faith. Told myself God didn't exist , that I didn't need him. Nine years of hell. Very real. Happy to say after nine years in the desert I returned to my Lord, who had been waiting for me, as he does, in 1981 and haven't looked back. And although there have still been tough times, I have never felt alone or empty since. Thank you for asking.
DeleteWow...so GOOD to hear. Amen. He is real!
DeleteThanks. God is...
DeleteThis is powerful. "We never really think we have/Enough" is so so true.
ReplyDeleteThank you Esther.
DeleteGram, I love the way you were able to explain the unexplainable.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jade. It wasn't easy.
DeleteBut it is true so...
It would be dark without Him, i'm glad you came back.
ReplyDeleteThank yoù. I'm thankful everyday for my Faith. Life doesn't make an ounce of sense without God.
